Antifa Thugs Demand ‘Overdue Payment’ From George Soros

A video posted to Twitter reveals Antifa members demanding that billionaire globalist George Soros pay them for his or her providers to this point.

Earlier within the 12 months, after Antifa efficiently shut down a Milo Yiannopoulos speech by rioting at Berkeley, it was revealed that the Democrat terror group was funded by George Soros.

The video, posted by Beverly Hills Antifa, options a quote which reads: “Antifa calls for George Soros pay us the cash he owes. Unite comrades and battle for $15/hour. #Resist”

From Daily Caller: The left-wing group that helped set up the violent shut down of the Milo Yiannopoulos occasion on the University of California, Berkeley on Wednesday is backed by a progressive charity that’s in flip funded by George Soros, town of Tucson, a serious labor union and a number of other giant corporations.

The Global Alliance for Justice, based mostly in Tucson, is listed as an organizer and financial sponsor for Refuse Fascism, a communist group that inspired left-wingers to close down the Yiannopoulos occasion.

The name to arms succeeded. Yiannopoulos’ speak was cancelled after demonstrators lit fires, vandalized companies, and assaulted Donald Trump and Yiannopoulos supporters.

Refuse Fascism, which incorporates Princeton professor Cornel West as one in all its founding “initiators,” defended the response, issuing an announcement on its web site that referred to as the shut down “righteous.”

And on its Facebook web page, the group asserted that the vandalism and arson weren’t “violence.” Instead, the group argued that Yiannopoulos and Trump perpetrate violence by means of the insurance policies they help.

“Dismantling police fences is not violent. And to compare preventing someone like that from speaking to the real-world violence that they perpetuate everyday is ludicrous,” reads one submit on the group’s Facebook web page.

The group didn’t point out the violent assaults in opposition to conservatives. One Trump backer was attacked with shovels by a gaggle of males clad in black. He was proven laying unconscious in the course of the road. A feminine Trump supporter was blasted with pepper spray whereas giving an on-camera interview.

Refuse Fascism’s involvement has spurred questions on who’s behind the group. In a sequence of tweets on Thursday, Trump asserted that the protesters had been paid to agitate.

While it’s unclear whether or not those that carried out the violence had been paid to take action, the benefactors of the Alliance for Global Justice — and Refuse Fascism — are listed on-line.

According to its most up-to-date 990 tax kind, Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ) acquired $2.2 million in funding for the fiscal 12 months ending in March 2016.

One of the group’s greatest donors is the Tides Foundation, a non-profit funded by billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros. Tides gave AfGJ $50,000.

Other notable donors embrace town of Tucson and the United Steel Workers labor union. The former gave $10,000 to AfGJ whereas the latter contributed $5,000.

Charities related to a number of main companies additionally donated. Patagonia.org, the outside attire and tools firm, gave $40,000. The Ben & Jerry Foundation, the charity related to the ice cream maker, gave $20,000. And Lush Cosmetic gave $43,950.

Another little bit of irony is seen within the $5,000 contribution from the Peace Development Fund, a gaggle that claims to help organizations that battle for human rights and social justice.

Another main donation got here from a gaggle that was chaired by Hillary Clinton through the 1980s. The New World Foundation gave $52,000 to AfGJ.

Refuse Fascism didn’t reply to a request for remark for this text.

Chuck Kaufman, the nationwide co-ordinator for AfGJ, stated he was solely conscious of the Berkeley protests by means of social media.

“I wasn’t aware that Refuse Fascism was involved, but probably they were one of a whole lot of groups calling to shut down Milo Yiannopoulos’ hate speech,” he advised The Daily Caller.

“AfGJ acts as fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism which means we process tax-deductible donations for them. As long as their use of the money falls into areas permitted for tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations, we don’t involve ourselves one way or the other in their program work.”

Correction: This article initially said that Fidelity Charitable and Schwab Charitable gave small donations to AfGJ. Those donations had been made by people by means of donor-advised funds and didn’t come immediately from both Fidelity or Schwab.
